Questions about the venue
Can we hold both ceremony and reception on the same day without moving guests?+

What's the latest we can book the venue into the evening?+
Events typically conclude by midnight. Specific end times depend on your guest count and chosen package. Contact the venue directly for seasonal variations.
Are there backup indoor spaces if weather becomes problematic?+
The estate includes covered pavilions and interior rooms suitable for 80-120 guests. Smaller ceremonies can relocate entirely indoors; larger events may require partial guest accommodation adjustments.
Can we bring our own caterer, or is in-house catering required?+
Villa Grit offers preferred catering partnerships and in-house options. External caterers are sometimes permitted with prior approval, confirm this detail when requesting your proposal.
